Wi-Fi connection when a VPN connection or direct connection between BlackBerry devices and the BlackBerry Router is not possible
If Wi-Fi® enabled BlackBerry® devices cannot connect directly to the BlackBerry Router (with or without a VPN connection) over a Wi-Fi network that can access the Internet (for example, a home Wi-Fi network or hotspot), the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices open SSL connections over the Internet to the BlackBerry® Infrastructure. After the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices connect to the BlackBerry Infrastructure, the users' provisioned data services start to send data to the Wi-Fi enabled BlackBerry devices.
